stage Make Up on the street.

The stage make up is now exceedingly
well done by the majority Of artists. Few
leading actors fail in transforming nature
or so initiating her that the imitation Is
not better than the original at a distance
OF fifteen PAGES. When, however, the
make up II carried into real life and the
actor wears his facial war paint by the
light OF the day, the effect Is decidedly I'M
pleasing. A woman who thus aids ma
ture-to put IL ~mildly-may he forgiven,
u a man with painted lips and darkened
eyes Is a CHASTITY spectacle, even though he
does belong TO the profession and Is Of the
"mashing' order Of his sex. This seems
10 be the verdict Of a number Of critical
people who CHANGED to meet a young Eng
fish actor recently, and thought he was
the most elabOrntely touched up work OF
art they had ever seen of the stage.-Bos-

THE NEW wuIsKEY POOL.
The Executive Committee Perfect.
Ing the Plan of Organization.
lBy telegraph to the Dispasch.I

fIy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
CmcAoo, August 5.-The executive
committee of the new whiskey-p pool
monopoly were in session all day yes
terday pcrfecting the plan OF organiza-
ton Of the new combine. Assurances
were received from q large number of
distillors west OF the Ohio river of
their willingness TO enter into tho new
monopoly, and the indications arc
that within thirty days the COM
bination, or trust, will be established
and in fun working order. The capital
Of the Distillers' and Cattle-Feeders'
Trust will probably be fixed at about
25,000,000, and will be apportioned
among The members according to their
capacity of tho plant represented. The
chief feature Of the combine is to Sc
lect such houses as can manufacture the
largest amount of high wines mt the
least producing cost, and TO run these
10 their full capacity, thus supplying
the entire market and controlling alb
solutely these two important clements
production and price. The owners
OF the houses that are closed viii re-
ceive profitable dividends from the
managers of the pool, and will be re-
lieyed Of all anxiety regarding the dis
posal Of their products. A gentleman
prominently connected with the new
pool said Yesterday that fully 70 per
cent. of the distillers west of the Ohio
river were in favor of the new trust,
and the remainder would either be
obliged to come in or stand
from under. The pool, he said,
would manufacture goods of standard
grade and at the cheapest pos
sible price, and competitors who re-
manned ont would probably experience
IA cold and comfortless winter. The
general plan of organization has not
yet been fully perfected, but the Execu-
tive Committee will remain in session
for a couple of days, and when every
feature has been fully considered the
entire plan will be submitted to each
member for approval, after which arti-
Giles Of incorporation will be secured.

A Big Transportation steal.


ST.. LOUIS, August 5.-The Globe
Democrat says that there is flourish
ing ring in the office of the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company and another
ring within it, the depredations of
which are seriously impairing the in
terests of stock and bondholders. The
reporters informant says:
"Ihere was one man in the Office OF
the Missouri Pacific to whom $50 was
given each week of the year for the
privilege Of shipping men over the road
free. | was one of several who furnished
the contractofs under Cowan d Co.
with tiemakers and graders. These
men were presumed to be workingmen,
but so long as they paid the price it
was not my place to be too inquisitive.
| had to give one man percentage on
every man who went over the road asa
workingman. This whole system is
rotten, and the matter Of reckless tie
contracts sinks into insignificance when
compared with the transportation
steal"
Another laborer agent complained
that there was only one way to get men
to their work over the Gould system,
and that was to send them by tho pass
of certain contractor, and to do this
81 had to be paid to the agent. "Three
fourths of the men sent down" he said,
"were not laboring men at all. It's
many man that's gone to Nettleton
for 81, where the regular fare is 1928.
in this hot weather only about ten men
a day take passage this way, but that
will amount 20 81, 800 month, and in
the travelling season it is big item"

ON FIRE rOR THE SIXTH TIME.
Editor Eeidei Saves the New Yorker
ZeituDg Building.
New York SUM.


The Office Of the Ncw Yorker Zcitlng
was on fire again yesterday afternoon.
This is the sixth time the building has
been on fire this year. The damage
was trifing. The business office of the
paper is on the street floor at Frank
Tort street. From this Office stairway
leads to the top or fifth floor. The top
floor is the composing-room, where
eight typesctters, foreman, and boy
are usually at work. On the fourth
floor is the editorial room, and Edi-
tor Charles Reidel was there yesterday.
At $3.50 o'clock a strong smell OF burn
ing paper came up the stairs and in
through the open door into Mr. Reidel's
room. Mr.. Reidel at first thought the
smoke was from the stereotyping- room,
but on calling down through the speak
ipg-tube he learned that no paper was
burning there. He then ran into the
hallway and down stairs one flight,
where he saw smoke coming out around
the door leading into the large room
that occupies the whole OF that floor
and is used as a storeroom, the chief
articles of value being the flies of the
paper
Mr.. Riedel and William Waves one
of the proprietors of the paP.c. DSth
assert that this door was then locked.
Mr.. Reidel then unlocked it, and gave
an alarm at the same time. The print
ers from above and proprietors from
below came up, and with appliances
kept on hand in profusion, because OF
the buildings disastrous experience
with fire, put out the flames. The fire
was in q heap Of waste paper opposite
the door. 1T was out when the fire de-
partment arrived.
Since the building was wholly burned
ont last, April 18th, great care has been
exercised about admitting people, be-
cause it was supposed that the Anarch-
lists lad fired the building on account
of the opposition of the paper to their
doctrines. The door TO the stairway
opens into the area of the office on the
first floor. 1T can only be opened by
pulling lever at the cashiers desk be-
hind the stout wire railing that shuts
the cashier in. A man could get on the
roof of the building by climbing out Of
TriG,mc building window, but to reach
the third floor he would have to pass
through q scuttle down into the COM
positors' room. and SO on down by the
Stairs. Mr.. Mayer said after the fire
that no person had passed either up or
down the stairway before the fire ex-
cept the oilice-boy. lie did not sus-
pet the boy. ne said, but the door to
ibc room had been locked, and to get
into the room n person must know
what kind Of a key was used. The
lock now in use was entirely differe Mt
from the one used before the big fire.
The firemen examined the place criti-
cally. They were OF the opinion that
the fire might have originated spon
tancously in the heap of greasy old
paper. Mr.. Mayer wanted to convey
The same idoa to the reporters who
talked to him about it. He said that if
the fro had occurred at night instead
of in the middle of the afternoon he
would be more ready to think it Of in
cendiary origin.

Personal.

The story runs that Mr.. Edmund
Yates had his pocket picked and lost
bis watch, worth $500. in going to
Guidhall ball whereupon Mr.. q. A.
Sela says: "This comes of being
naughty, Mr.. Yates, and wearing chro
nometers jewelled in many holes, and
riding in handsome cabs and such like.

LETT his watch at home and his overcoat
TO boot, on the night OF the ball, and
the commissioner of city police allowed
his humble four wheeler to stand in the
Old Jewry hard by Guildhall, so that
lie had not the slightest difficulty in
getting there or in getting away to
work, which was not over until . in the
morning. Mr. Sala, by way of chat"
rs he is in receipt of quite $500
year from his pen, says his own par
ticular handsome gold watch is at pres
ent in the keeping OF his "uncle" who
is passionately fond of articles of virtu,
and politely declines to part with his
timekeeper until a ridiculous process
called redemption " is gone through.

A Roy Fails from the Fourth story
OF . Building.


fBy telegraph 70 the Dispstch.1
New YORK, August 5.-A nine-year-
old boy was seen this morning 10 crawl
out of rear fourth.story window OF the
tenement-house No. II Spring street,
reach the fire-escape, and attempt to
descend. He had not got half way
down when, either from weakness or
dizziness at the great height, he lost his
hold and fell to the pavement of the
yard, turning two somersaults in the
descent. The little fellow struck on his
back and received injuries from which
lie will probably die.
The Italians who lived in the vicinity,
as usual, tried to prevent the police
from obtaining any information con-
corning the accident, but it was learned
that Saverio Vicino and Deborah Basi-
loni, the parents of the boy, always
locked him up in the fourth-story room
where they lived when they went to
work Mt 5 and o'clock in the morning
and left him without food. When
Joseph, the boy, awoke this morning,
after bis parents had gone out, he had
gone without eating for twenty hours.
Hunger impelled him to try to make
bis way to the street in the hopes OF
finding some scraps Of food.
